Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

Any Democrat announcing pre-emptively that they won't impeach Trump is not just failing to fulfill their constitutional duties, they're signaling to Trump that he can ramp up the abuses because they're not going to hold him accountable. Nope.

The DOJ has never been perfect. There has always been plenty to criticize. But the DOJ today, after not even two years of Trump, is a rotten shell of what it once was; untrusted by sizeable portions of the federal judiciary, hollowed out at the core, and run without principle.

Right, it turns out that instead of letting the Republicans set the terms of the debate, you can simply tell them and their enablers in the media to cram it. El-Sayed has been doing the same thing. It's long overdue.

Getting politicians to at least stop sending people to X right now is crucial. Because not only are they sending people into the hot box of the biggest GOP Super PAC, but they're also feeding Elon crucial data that can be used to target voters better.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.
